hosting the 'Quine vs. Carnap' debate

Hosting the 'Quine vs. Carnap' debate involves arranging a formal discussion between two prominent philosophers of the 20th century. Quine championed an empiricist view that rejected strict logical distinctions between language and reality, emphasizing that our knowledge is interconnected and revisable. Carnap, on the other hand, advocated for logical positivism, insisting that meaningful statements must be verifiable through empirical evidence or logical analysis. Facilitating this debate requires organizing clear presentations, guiding respectful dialogue, and ensuring the audience understands these philosophical differences to appreciate their implications for science, language, and knowledge.
